Recipe Friday: The Sweet Coconut Shrimp at Drunk Munk

If you’re searching for a crowd-pleasing July 4th appetizer, Andrew Tam of Old Town Scottsdale’s Drunk Munk has a recipe to share. “Coconut shrimp is always a party favorite,” he says.

Tam says it’s hard to make a mistake with this dish, except overcooking the shrimp. “Burn the coconut and you’ll alter the flavor.” When trying this at home, he advises that you cook one piece and note how long it took before cooking the rest. “Bigger shrimp will take longer.”
